A very interesting post. What terrible corruption and how the poor and vulnerable were exploited and cheated. “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.”

A fascinating history specially for someone who has lived just outside the Borough and spent six years at school in Bethnal Green founded by a Hugenot silk weaver Thomas Parmiter. Parmiters school has now moved to Herts but there still exists an old boys association from the Bethnal Green site which celebrates its history. This was some story ! as its theme resonates through the ages as a reminder of corruption in government and the abuse of power, if left unchecked.
We hope that this book by Julian woodford will give us the awareness to prevent it occuring again in the corridors of power.

Thank you so much for The Boss of Bethnal Green. Such an interesting insight into the background of my ancestors and something completely unknown to me.
